At the same time, Luo Tian appeared in midair behind Imu and brought his Haki-wreathed Black Dragon Blade crashing down!
But Imu's powerful Observation Haki had already predicted the attack. One of her spider legs, wrapped in black Haki, shot out like a Venom Dragon and precisely blocked Luo Tian's slash.
Another spider leg seemed to teleport, stabbing out of the empty space behind Luo Tian and aiming straight for his heart!
The angle was treacherous, the timing vicious—it was a killing blow!
Luo Tian's pupils contracted. At the very last moment, he activated his ability!

His body instantly blurred and turned transparent, as if merging with the layers of space around him.
